Future prospects of Python?

In terms of future job prospects in India, which language is better, Ruby or Python?

• Answer:

  I dont think service company based economy of India will ever have brilliant job prospects for Python/Ruby. The reason being they stick to "enterprise" hype in order to sell products, which is easier to sell to most businesses and organizations . Most jobs are (and will be) in Java/C#. Both Python/Ruby (and Node in addition) are rapid prototyping languages and are open source, which probably have no need in most B2B software catering companies in India. The recent trend in big data has brought a few Python jobs in my notice, but Ruby I still feel has a small representation in India (given how cool the language actually is).
